Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 low-sodium sausage links
- 0.5 cup low-sodium cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the low-fat milk. Whisk together until well combined, and set aside.
Slice the low-sodium sausage links into thin rounds.
In a medium non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges into the center as they begin to set.
Once the eggs are mostly cooked, but still slightly runny, sprinkle the low-sodium cheddar cheese over the eggs.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, distributing evenly across the eggs.
Continue to gently fold the eggs and cheese until fully cooked through but still soft and creamy.
Season with black pepper, to taste.
Garnish with chopped chives before serving hot.
